The Eternal System
System 15: The Haishe Deal

Time has passed by about fifteen minutes. Li Chen explained the condition of the Lian family that dominated Feng city, as well as the attitude of those who always did as they pleased.

It was true that, from the nature of Lian Ping as the heir of the Lian family, it could already reflect the attitude of one of their families in full.

The greed for materials, especially money was the main thing for the Lian family. Those who had the ability to monopolize the trade in Feng city. Makes many people whose lives are in trouble, become worse.

In addition, the nature of those who look down on others is really very hated. However, the huge impact their family had on that Feng city could not be underestimated. So that no one dared to harass them.

**

Haishe who heard the explanation about the Lian family also looked not too surprised.

“Huh. Humans will not change, since long ago until now you always drop a fellow for the sake of climbing the peak!” grouse Haishe

“Well, that is indeed already the basis of our nature. My family also had the same impact, especially now that my sister is the target of the young master of the Lian family. Of course I have to protect her from anything dangerous”

Haishe looked once again directly into Li Chen's eyes. The white color of Ki's energy was still emanating clearly, and there was no sign of change or intention implied in his words. He was still silent and trying to listen to Li Chen's words.

“But I have something to ask you. Why do you hate humans so much? And also what has the Lian family done to your forest?” ask Li Chen

Haishe raised her head and turned to the right part of the forest. Far ahead and with its large body size can see a barren region that looks so many tree stumps.

“I am Haishe, the guardian of this Sheng forest. Since hundreds of years ago, this forest is a place filled with my mystical animal friends. Although we animals have to kill each other to survive, but we never harass you humans”

“But, two years ago, your selfishness and covetousness of the humans peaked. The leader of that Feng city came with their army, killing the mystical beasts that were inside this forest and taking the core of their bodies as an aid to increase the cultivation level!”

Li Chen was shocked when he heard the story from Haishe. Although he had only heard of such cultivation enhancement methods, but killing them was an exaggeration.

“It was too cruel...” Mumbled Li Chen who was so annoyed that he clenched tightly his hands as if he could not bear the mounting anger

“It was your own people. People who are full of greed and selfishness. After taking the core of my friends' bodies, they also took the green lotus flower for the sake of increasing the cultivation level”

“And now, I saw you coming to pick up the last green lotus flower in this forest!” grouse Haishe

That hiss from his mouth started to emit such a strong fury and threat towards Li Chen who was standing in front of him.

However, Li Chen had no time for trepidation. His brother's safety and future were in his palm, he had to get a green lotus flower no matter what.

“I have no intention of taking green lotus flowers just to raise my own life. I increase my cultivation to help those who are weak, especially my brother who is in a position of difficulty” explained Li Chen

Haishe who was still a little hesitant lowered her head and placed her enormous face right before Li Chen. The strong intimidation of a mystical beast with the Legend level really made him feel depressed.

“And if I give it to you, what guarantee and profit can I get?!”

Of course, Haishe could not let Li Chen leave without a guarantee or benefit for him in giving the last green lotus flower.

Li Chen could not offer anything of interest to Haishe if something related to strength or wealth. Hence…

“I myself, don't have anything that will interest you. If your request is to return your friends who have been made the core of the cultivation pill, then I will not be able to do so. Then let me give you this question.”

“What do you want?”

Haishe was stunned silently and even her two eyes widened strongly when she heard Li Chen turn around asking his will. In his entire life, he had never met a human as weird as Li Chen, who dared to make an offer to a mystical animal like him.

He smirked at how attractive Li Chen was back then.

“Khuhu... Man, you really dare yes..”.

Li Chen was stupefied at Haishe's intent. And before long, Haishe again put her face right in front of him with an aura of intimidation that was so strong.

Li Chen looked back at Haishe and tried to toughen up. Although the contents of the throat felt so dry that he swallowed his own saliva because he was nervous to hear the last condition.

And as Haishe continued his sentence….

“No exception from your family or anyone else, I will destroy that one city of yours!”

Intimidation was strong and every single one of the words he spoke felt filled with threats that could even give Li Chen a goosebump.

There were no lies in the words Haishe said. After two years of losing many of his mystical animal friends, and if now the last lotus flower that Li Chen had taken also failed to reach that agreement, it would not be possible, then the legendary storied mystical beast could not possibly hesitate to kill thousands of humans within Feng city, including his family.

* * * * *

After leaving Sheng's forest, Li Chen immediately returned inside his house before dark. He left his house without informing anyone, except his servant Xiao Nian who helped to keep his mouth shut.

Li Chen quietly entered his house through the back garden. Looking around so deserted made him feel safe.

“It looks like no one is suspicious.Good, I can go back to the room without being caught”.

He who walked while looking around, drew his gaze back to the front. And when Li Chen looked ahead, he was shocked to meet Xiao Nian right before his eyes.

“Uwa!”

Those who were about to get hit made Li Chen startled and fell on the floor.

Bruk!

“Aduh!” erang Li Chen's

Xiao Nian who was only a servant immediately trembled in fear. How not? A servant had shocked his young master to such a fall. Xiao Nian immediately bowed on the floor and begged Li Chen for mercy.

“Ma-pardon Xiao Nian, young master!”

“Eh?!”

“Xiao Nian has been presumptuous for making the young master surprised. Kindly give punishment to this lowly servant!”

Li Chen who looked at Xiao Nian bowed in fear was surprised. Although he knew that the ancient times were like that, it was unexpected that the fear of a servant would reach what he saw with both eyes.

Luckily, Li Chen was not a young master who did as he pleased and was cruel. He stood up while trying to help Xiao Nian raise his head.

“Xiao Nian, stop. There's no need for me to punish you, it's just a small thing. No need to think of”

Xiao Nian who was still bowing got up slowly. He still bowed his head before Li Chen as a servant should behave to his master.

“Te-thank you, young master!”

“Haah... So, did anyone realize my departure?”

“Ti-no young master. The big lady and the younger brothers of the master had briefly searched for the young master, but Xiao Nian said at the young master's request to inform him that the young master was confining himself to training inside the” room

“Good. Thank you, Xiao Nian. It's getting dark and you must be tired, go rest”

“Thank you for the kindness of young master. Xiao Nian retreat first..”.

With a salute to his master, Xiao Nian left for Li Chen there. While Li Chen himself walked over and entered into his room alone.
